description The objective of our paper consists in testing on the ground the concept of governance, which should be understood as a form of intervention by companies in public action. Using the social problem of “racial” discrimination in the workplace, we will show how this has been taken up by private players in initiatives such as the production of reports on the subject (Bébéar 2004, Sabeg and Méhaignerie 2004…) and in the recent signing of the “Charter of diversity” by forty french firms. In fact, these various initiatives (reports, charters…), show how private players are tempted to build on a public problem, to influence relations with the State, to legitimise and support their own explanations of what is real, their own ways of defining the causes, and their solutions. The fact that the question of discrimination has been appropriated by private players is a testimony to their increasing participation in political decision-making, and thus illustrates a way of working which is codified from the point of view of a negotiated standard, and partly characterised by the tools and procedures of governance. Thus, starting from the premise that governance is a way of working codified from the point of view of a negotiated standard, we have studied the Charter of Diversity in business which was published in October 2004.
